Mexico's first lady eyes following Fox to presidency

This was published in our local paper today but not available online. I did find online @ Twin Cities Pioneer Press 28 Jan 2004

She's petite, demure, with big brown eyes that coyly wink when she greets people. But Marta Sahagun, President Vicente Fox's wife, has Mexico in a tizzy.

After three years of denying that she had any interest in succeeding her husband when he leaves office in 2006, Sahagun now says that maybe, just maybe, she'll run.

"There must be a woman candidate, of course," she told reporters a few days ago after she took a test to join the 300-member delegate council of the National Action Party, her husband's political group. Only council members can be considered for the party's presidential candidacy. The test results are kept secret, but Sahagun reportedly finished first.



What shot out at me was "Only council members can be considered for the party's presidential candidacy."

Geesh... would bush* had passed that test? Well of course for the repug party.
